"Me and the kids moved here because I wanted my kids to go to a better school. Thought I was doing the right thing. Little did I know.
Got here about 6 years ago and I was working full time for a home-care business and working part time at a fast-foot place. Had to do that so we could pay the rent and bills. Just me and the four kids. We lived in a place and had this downstairs neighbor. We did not get along. One day she called me The "N" word three times in a row and I punched her. Got an assault charge for that but no time. After that it got worse.
I had to work my 3 hour shift at the fast-foot place and the next thing I know I'm getting arrested for leaving my kids home. Got arrested for neglect and my kids were put in foster care. Only for a week and I got them back. We ended up getting evicted and homeless. Found a place that would help us get off the streets. They got us in some church shelters. You stay at a church for a week then move to another one. They helped me get help and a permanent place to live.
We're doing okay. I'm working at a gas station but I need a better job. Things are still too tight."
